I know this is way late of a question. But why is Washington drafting ahead of the Lions when they have identical records and Washington beat the Lions last year?

BTW, the first Lions game I went to at Ford field was the Washington game!!

PT - sorry that was the first game you attended, hopefully they will fare better the next time you go to a game.

The draft order is set by record, then SOS (strength of schedule). SOS is the combined winning % of your opponents. The Skins opponents had a lower winning % than the Lions so they pick before Detroit (just like last year - uggh).
